Abstract

The author of this article, Klaus Menck, argues in favour of more practical or professionally oriented university language courses. The exclusive or almost exclusive study of literature in a university language course at junior or senior level is no longer a viable option. Therefore, translation should be integrated in university language courses at senior undergraduate level.
